[107] ὁ γὰρ ἐνεστὼς χρόνος ἴσως μὲν καὶ ἀνύπαρκτός ἐστιν, ἵνα δὲ τοῦτο νῦν ὑπερθώμεθα, ἀμερής ἐστιν· ἀδύνατον δέ
ἐρτιν <ἐν> ἀμερεῖ χρόνῳ νομίζειν τὸν σίδηρον, εἰ τύχοι, τῆς σκληρότητος εἰς μαλακότητα μεταβάλλειν ἢ τῶν ἄλλων μεταβολῶν ἑκάστην γίνεσθαι· παρατάσεως γὰρ αὗται φαίνονται χρῄζειν. εἰ οὖν μήτε ἐν τῷ παρεληλυθότι
χρόνῳ μεταβάλλει τι μήτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι <μήτε ἐν ἐνεστῶτι, οὐδὲ> μεταβάλλειν τι ῥητέον.

[107] For the present time is probably also unreal,¹ and—even if we set aside this point—it is indivisible; and it is impossible to suppose that in an indivisible moment of time iron, say, changes from hard to soft, or any one of all the other changes takes place; for they appear to require extension in time. If, then, nothing changes either in the past or in the future or in the present, we must declare that nothing changes at all.
